In fact, none of the girls were in a great mood! Maliyah had skipped her afternoon nap as well, so we struggled through dinner with three tired babies who were not excited about their pictures being taken.
We managed to get one family picture in our seussical costumes before the girls had a complete melt-down and were taken upstairs for their baths. It took an hour for them to get calmed down enough to start going to sleep…they have not screamed so hysterically for that long since they were newborns! Jake held them upstairs while I answered the door for trick-or-treaters downstairs.
Pretty much every kid who knocked on our door was startled and had to take a step back when I opened the door and they saw my wig…ha! Since the twins were still awake and showing no signs of wanting to sleep, we bundled them up and took them outside to hang out with our neighbors who were sitting in their driveway chatting and handing out candy. The crisp air seemed to do Samantha and Amelia some good because they became very calm and finally drifted off to sleep.
